Injury not a hindrance for Saina -- she still gets her smash right and it is the fastest!
LEADING WOMEN'S SINGLES SHUTTLER Saina Nehwal bagged the medal for fastest smash in the match against PC Thulasi of Delhi Acers on Monday in the ongoing Premier Badminton League (PBL). She was recovering from an Achilles injury and therefore was out of action for the last three weeks.
The world no. 2 did not play in the opening match against Mumbai Rockets due to the same reason and instead chose to sit out and cheer her team. Monday's match was the first for her team at their home ground. Her fans poured in huge numbers to cheer their star and the top shuttler did not let her fans down.
She won her tie against Thulasi in straight sets, 15-9, 15-10. She took to her official Twitter account to share her joy.

Just coming from an injury she could smash at a speed of 324 km/hr so imagine what she is capable of when she is fully fit. Keep the smashes coming Saina!
